Diabetologist,  's  Response
welcome to hcm,
type 2 respiratory disorder can be diagnosed by ABG( arterial blood gas analysis) . it responds well to bipap , the settings can be decided by a pulmonologist. but, her coronary artery disease needs attention too. i would suggest to get her stabilized first and get her CABG done as soon as possible.
muscular dystrophy is a subset of disease with very few treatments. physiotherapy and correct diagnosis of type of muscular dystrophy may help.
